If you have a Acura NSX in your driveway and are getting a bit bored with its lines. Why not not make it into a $550,000 Farrari F50? Not sure if this was a conversion by owner or if the owner hired a shop to make the changes. I could just imagine the reaction the owner would have had if he showed up mid way through the project and saw his car in that state! The end result looks fantastic but I wonder how strong and reliable the new body is.

The NSX is a respectable supercar in its own right. why the hell would someone go to the trouble of spending money to trash the value of a six-figure vehicle while trying to make it look like something else in the same class?

Hope he at least invested in the CompTech Supercharger, ECU Flash, and Improved Fuel Map. 400 HP will be a lot more useful to sling all that added foam weight around than the stock 290. Still hurts me to see it. If you want the F50, buy the F50. If you want the NSX, buy the NSX. Don’t ruin a great car to build a disappointing fake of another car. At least the Fiero/Ferrari mods back in the 80’s were purpose-built kits.

Yeah… even if i saw that going down the road, i wouldn’t think “Ooh, Ferarri.” Yeah… it looks LIKE a Ferarri…. but even so, something about it just seems a little off. Either way… i think i’d rather have a Lotus. Not exactly “Supercar”…. but also not exactly cliche’d to high hell, either. SOOOO glad the Lotus Evora is in Test Drive Unlimited 2.

And fail for the minivan in the background of the first picture with the bodykit….
